The Longest Journey Hints

How can I get rid of the Snapjaw?

  • 1 of 5: First, if you haven't found the Snapjaw, it's "guarding" the wreckage of your ship.  Ask the Maerum Queen about your ship, and she'll point you in the right direction.  (You can't go there until you've asked her about it.)
  • 2 of 5: You're going to have to kill it to get rid of it.
  • 3 of 5: There's a spear next to the Maerum Queen.  Try taking it.
  • 4 of 5: Once you have the spear, April will carry it, and you can swim back to your ship.
  • 5 of 5: Select the spear from your inventory and use it several times on the Snapjaw until it is dead.
